Back up your data

On this pageCreate a consistent backupRestore

Back up the persistent volume mounted at /data. It contains your documents, database, settings and security keys.

Create a consistent backup

  1. Run docker compose stop from your installation folder.
  2. Snapshot or archive the complete data volume using your server’s backup tool. Find the volume name with docker compose config --volumes and Docker’s volume inspection tools.
  3. Run docker compose start when the backup is complete.

Keep encrypted copies on separate storage. Treat backups as sensitive: they include documents and the keys needed to decrypt saved credentials.

Restore

Stop the installation, restore the complete volume and start it with the same image version used for the backup. Test restores on a separate installation before relying on them.
